General Information
Someone says that Rome was founded from Romolo and Remo over seven hills...but this is a long story...
How it is possible to describe Rome? Rome is the capitol of Italy, with more than five million of habitants and one of the most ancient cities of the world. Its history is visible at each corner through the Ancient Roman Ruins, the Rinascimental Palaces, the Baroque Churches, the modern structures and a lot of museums.
Numerous artists are passed from Rome and are remained fascinate and inspired from its beauty. Just to remember Keats, buried in the English Cemetary in Rome, or Goethe.
It's impossible to list all the monuments of Rome, not only for their number, but also because it is not possible to make justice to the city: the history, the city of the Pope and the Vatican, its splendid quarters, the public squares, the Fontanas and finally the air that you can breath in the grips ways of the center.
And it is impossible also to forget the zones near Rome as the Roman Castles and the sea, distant approximately an half hour by car from the city.
From the other part there are also numerous problems, but they are typical problems of all the big cities.
It is not possible not to stop in Rome. Its history and its life are unique into the world.
